  • Jacqueline Wilson books
  • Eva Ibbotson books
  • JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series
  • Lian Hearn’s Otori series
  • The Hobbit
  • Alex Rider series and a Greek mythology book also by Anthony Horowitz
  • Cathy Cassidy books
  • Various children’s classics…Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, Little Women, A Little Princess
  • Series of Unfortunate events books
  • Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke

Off the top of my head that Heartstopper graphic novel was very popular with teens and apparently is not in any way explicit though it deals with a gay relationship.

DD enjoyed Nevermoor and the sequels (she’s currently 15 and eagerly awaiting the next one!) and Lemony Snicket at that age.
